messages. and the team i worked with have done so well for the last two yea rs, have done so well for the last two years, i've been plagued with injury and that showed in my performance. i got back to where i should be not to be able to break 20 seconds are so disappointing and heartbreaking. how important is it for that you are not just the sprinter whose potential was always spoken about. it is a ha rd was always spoken about. it is a hard thing to hear, he could have been this, he had potential. you're never going to fulfil all expectations but i have my own expectations but i have my own expectations and i know what i think ican expectations and i know what i think i can achieve. i need to go out there, and 26 now, i'm not an 18—year—old new to the sport. i'm at the age where i have to start to be in the seniorfinals the age where i have to start to be in the senior finals and bring home the medals. the user going by faster and faster and before you know it i will be retired and you look back and your career thinking i could

have done that differently. but i wa nt have done that differently. but i want no regrets i'm trying to lift every opportunity i can. now, this season the indian premier league looks to be one of the most exciting yet. the auction for players starts on thursday, but one team has already bagged some of the top names in world cricket. the rajistan royals have on their books, jos buttler, jofra archer, ben stokes and captain steve smith. i spoke to the operating manager for the team — englishman jake lush mccrum and asked him how he managed to get them all to sign for the same side. in 2018 we signed all four of these guys. this will be the first year that we have the same captain for the whole season so going from the ashes and competing against each other to then playing together in the ipl. there are immensely talented, jos buttler hit five 50s in the row in 2018 and that took him
6:49 pm
from performing in the ipl in t20 format to the english test side so thatis format to the english test side so that is quite an interesting outcome of the ipl. jofra archer has been incredible across t20 and then got into the england side and ben stokes obviously it has been his ear for cricket with the world cup and the ashes and some of his performances have been staggering. so to have them all in one team is exciting. and the indians that we have as well. that means we have a really exciting team for the season ahead with a few pics coming in the auction. he mentioned how successful auction. he mentioned how successful a year it has been for ben sparks and he also won bbc sports personality of the year. but how big is he in india? huge, cricket in india is like a religion, it is incredible. during the tournament
6:50 pm
just walking to the airport with these guys they are bombarded for photographs and they are very generous to take these. the scenes in the stadium are and so ben stokes has transformed as a personality out here, he isjust huge as is smith and now jofra here, he isjust huge as is smith and nowjofra archer is becoming the same. the amount of indian cricket fa ns to same. the amount of indian cricket fans to watch the ashes is huge and it is covered out here on so many channels. so they are big personalities and the crowd absolutely personalities and the crowd a bsolutely love personalities and the crowd absolutely love to watch them play. you're obviously very committed to the rajasthan royals but i do not think that we realised quite how committed you are. when we did some research and knew we a video, just talk us through that or explain yourself! i thought i might regret this at some point! we were doing a kind of fan competition to create a song to be chanted in the stadium.
6:51 pm
you see the likes of liverpool and other football teams having these amazing anthems and so we look to replicate that with the fans because generally the indian crowds just go wild. there's less chanting to it. i'm hoping to get it taken down from social media now! i was trying to engage the fans and give them something to sing at match days but i'm not sure that it caught on! you have a lovely voice i have to say! thank you very much for taking the time to speak to us and we look forward to seeing how rajasthan royals in the new ipl season. boxer tyson fury has accepted rival anthonyjoshua's offer to be his sparring partner if it helps his fellow brit beat american deontay wilder. but he did it in a very unusual way. fury has a re—match with wilder in february after their first fight ended in a draw earlier this year. fury accepted joshua's offer on instagram —

refugees the bbc has been told of an increasing number of children self harming and attempting suicide in the quake refugee camp on lesbos. there's been a sharp increase in the number of refugees arriving there in recent months and almost 18,000 people are living in one camp designed for 2000 people. psychologists say they are overwhelmed with the number of young people needing urgent help. tulip mazumdar has been to the camp and just a boy knew you may find her report setting. this is no place for a child, and yet moria camp is home to more than 7,000 of them. the vast majority of these children have fled war—torn countries and arrived here in europe — a place supposedly of humanity, safety and security. ok, let's go together. at the nearby children's clinic, a mental health emergency is unfolding. a 17—year—old boy slashed himself

across his chest and arms overnight. his friend has brought him in. butjust ask him if we can talk to him. this is a sadly common scene here. he's not well. he does want to... he talks about wanting to... to do this again. more than 150 children have been referred to msf psychologists in the last two months alone. that's double the number from the summer. two of those children attempted suicide — the youngest was just 13 years old. normally a child, when they experience something traumatic, has to have the time and the space to recover. moria does not allow the children to recover. in a child in the preschooler age, you can see children banging their head against a wall, for instance, pulling their hairs off, and in the age between 12 and 17, we see children start to cut themselves.
6:55 pm
strongly start to talk about the desire of dying. a father in desperate search of help for his family, his daughter zaynab has autism and epilepsy. it took them two months to get here from afghanistan. they met us at a makeshift community centre at the camp. he described how they all almost died when they were flung into the sea as they crossed from turkey. their bag with their money and zaynab's medication was lost. translation: the children were just screaming. they had so much fear. and the darkness, we always remember the darkness. both children, he tells me, are utterly traumatised.
6:56 pm
translation: at night zaynab screams. she does not sleep, she hardly eats. we were refused permission to film inside the main, government—run part of the camp. but the overspill into the neighbouring olive grove now holds around half of the almost 18,000 population of moria. some families are getting stuck here for months awaiting news on their asylum claims. the greek government recently announced plans to move 20,000 people off this island and neighbouring island by early 2020, but movement on that has been extremely slow. and people, particularly women and children, keep arriving on these islands every week. children are resilient. my name is mustafa! here in a tented shack used as a community centre, staff are trying to help them remember simply how to be children... my name is nagis! ..but there is only so much these young minds can take. tulip mazumdar, bbc news,

moria camp, lesbos. now time for a look at the weather. it is expected to turn joy across much of the country tonight as high—pressure bills from the west. this weather front will clear away, some showers dotted around the south coast and we lose must showers from scotland. but this is short lived as low pressure takes over later on wednesday. 0vernight some mist and fog developing again with light wind under clear skies and temperatures ta ke under clear skies and temperatures take a tumble. a fairly widespread frost through central and northern areas. less coal to the south—west because we see increasing cloud and breeze by the end of the night. so call breeze by the end of the night. so ca ll start breeze by the end of the night. so call start with some frost around, areas of dense fog could cause

you're watching beyond 100 days... boris johnson likes the feel of the new parliament. in his first day back at the despatch box it was standing room only on the conservative benches. the prime minister says he will be working around the clock to get brexit done by january 31st. his first significant commitment was to insert a new clause into the withdrawal bill, which he says will ensure talks with the eu on the future trade agreement are finished by the end of next year. not an easy return to the commons forjeremy corbyn. tonight he has been facing his backbench labour colleagues furious at the scale of the party's defeat. also on the programme... boeing is stopping production of the 737 max — it has been the company's best selling plane —
